Overview

Desire at Henley opens on a single weekend at one of England's most storied sporting events, where three men navigate the particular freedoms and complications of a life lived just outside the mainstream. Brian, a professional fundraiser with an acute awareness of appearances, finds himself suspended between the easy intimacy of his throuple with rowers Finn and Aly, and the unexpected arrival of Archie, a groundsman and PhD student who moves through the world with a quiet certainty Brian has never quite managed himself. Set against the champagne-soaked enclosures of Henley Royal Regatta, the ancient country lanes of Oxfordshire and the unhurried rhythms of rural cottage life, this is a novel about class, desire and the slow work of figuring out what you actually want. It is frank about sex and tender about love, interested in the gap between the two, and quietly attentive to the social codes that govern who gets to be visible and on whose terms.
